Not sure where to put this post, or how many people will see it here, but...
NiftySearch is kinda, sorta back up. The reasons for the site crashing are still being worked on by our volunteer host. The search engine appears to be (mostly) working, although you may get a warning error message when you use it. The transcription part of the site is still down, however. Do not be surprised if the search engine goes down again as work on the site continues. But he's halfway there...

Ditto. I was starting to worry it was never coming back.

Don't know if there is an other place to do that. I understand the need of advertisement. I made a point to never use add-block. What I don't want is third party websites tracking my browsing habit and making target advertisements by creating a profile out of it. I have no issue with seeing adds or even getting located adds based on where my server is, but I care about my privacy. I see no options to opt out of such trackers on your website. Is it absent, or am I just missing it?

My browser is already set to block third party cookies, but I don't like to agree to tracking cookies anyway. Most websites with those cookies agreement requests have opt-out option, and it's annoying this one doesn't.
